fore the Cincinnatis.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 31.-The Athletics
were defeated for the third time to-day
through the superior batting of the home
team and their own failure to hit Smiths
pitching, until the ninth inning when
they punched two hits and two bases on
balls. Then they made errors at critical
points that cost runs. The only feature
was the foolish base running of the
Reds. four men being eXtinguiShed at
the plate. Bierbauer made wonderful
One-handed catch in the second inning.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 31.-The game be-
tween Baltimore and Cleveland was re-
markable in many respects. but was
lacking in interest. Gilks pitched for
the home team and his work was great.

good fielding game. The Clevelands

PLAYED A FINE GAME.
ST. Louis, Aug. 31.-Terry and King
were OH their mettle to-day and both
pitched great games. The Browns only
pulled out a victory in the eighth in
ming when defeat seemed certain.
Terry was beautifully supported, and
had he fielded his position as well as he
pitched, different story would be told.
After failing to retire Latham in the
eighth on GleaSOn'S hit, O'Neill came to
the rescue with drive to left center,
tieing the score. Mcclellan made bad
error, which let in two runs, and gave
st. Louis the game. The features were
GleaSon'S work at short, he making sew
eral phenomenal pick-ups, while Robin
Comiskey, though having a badly in
jured hand played in his position pluck
lily. The battery work of King and
BOYLE was of the finest. Pipckney,
Clark, Peoples and Phillips did excel
lent work. The base running of the
champions has seldom been eXcelled.

A SLUGGING MATCH.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 31.-IIouiSyille won
a third consecutive game from the Nets
to-day. Ryan went in to pitch for the
Indians but was terribly wild, O'Brien
relieving him after seven runs had been
made in portion of the opening inning.
Radford tried his hand after O'Brien
was knocked out, and, while not so wild,
was hit hard. Big Jones then pitched
an inning, meeting the same fate. Rose
man came into the box in the eighth
and Jared rather better than his COM
panlonS of ill-luck, finishing out the
game. The Louisvilles made thirty-two
hits, with total of forty-eight bases.
Ramsey's arm gave out in the second
and Neal, who was hit hard, finished
the game. Kerins hit safely five times,
with total of fifteen bases, two home
runs, two three-baggerS and a single.
O'Brien secured five hits also, one
phantom" he also making two home
runs. RadfOrd did some excellent field
ing. AS ShOrt-stOp White took his posi-
ton in the field in the third inning a
